Document Summary

1st century christianity was a community experiment in following the life of jesus. A question to consider in christianity is how we live with such great differences. 1st century bce to 1st century ce. Judea: archelaos 4 bce to 6 ce. Galilee: herod antipas 38 bce to 39 ce. Roman prefects and procurators: pontus pilate 26-36 ce. Jesus was born some place around 4 bce, it is a defining moment, he would live to around 30-33 ce at which time he was put to death as a criminal by the roman government. The first followers of jesus were people who lived in the eastern mediterranean (where he spent most of his life) This is a region which is fought over by hellenistic kings, by roman legions, it is sometimes independent, sometimes a part of the roman empire. It is a geopolitical hot spot and strategically important to roman access to resources in the east.
